Over a month: mouth redness started after meals, then swelling; iodine didn’t help; now only one side is swollen – could it be demodex?
Mouth redness and swelling in a dog can be food allergy or skin disease such as demodex, fungus or allergic dermatitis. A skin test or allergy test at the vet is best since photos rarely confirm cause. Treat allergy by removing the trigger; treat skin disease by identifying it.

My 7-year-old Corgi had vomiting, no bowel movement, then died of shock during a cephalosporin IV after pancreatitis and bowel blockage diagnosis

Severe diarrhea is usually acute enteritis; brown stool suggests upper GI bleeding. Give pet anti-inflammatory and antidiarrheal (neomycin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, gentamicin, bismuth, smectite). Feed light, low-allergy, digestible food. If no relief, see a vet to avoid dehydration and anemia.
My 1.5-month puppy has swollen red eyes (vision ok), thick white eye discharge, and a swollen red chin that oozes blood – what is it?
